I have RLink device but my MCU, STM8S208C6T3, is not in the list. What are my options for programming the MCU? Is there any way to configure the RFlasher to make it support my MCU? Or Can I use the STM8-TEST device and set the memory allocation manually?

Please reply soon. Thank You.

Hi,

Indeed these devices are not yet available, but will be in the next RKit-STM8 (not planned yet).

The best way to use these is to use a bigger STM8 such as STM8S208RB, and take care about not using more flash than available.
However, in order to program the flash on your actual device this may not work. We have submitted the question to STMicro and will get back to you with more precise information as soon as possible.

Regards,

Thanks Bruno.
I tried to program the REva board(STM8S208RB) by selectind STM8-Test device and the correct memory allocation and it worked. My question is "what makes my device unsupported? Is it the memory size..?"

Hi,

Yes mostly. Hopefully the programming algorithms are the same for both devices, so you do not need a patch.
Anyway we will have full support for your device with the next release, so keep in touch!

Thanks. My Code size is 16Kb so it will hopefully work.
